Florian Vermeersch (born 12 March 1999) is a Belgian professional racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI ProTeam Lotto–Dstny.[4]
On 1 June 2020, Vermeersch was promoted from the team's under-23 development squad. Formerly, Vermeersch competed in cyclo-cross, in which he was highly successful.[5] While being a professional cyclist, he is studying history at Ghent University.[6] In 2021, he placed third in the UCI Road World Under–23 men's time trial. At the 2021 Paris–Roubaix race, which had been postponed from April due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he got into the early breakaway of around 30 riders and ultimately finished second to Sonny Colbrelli and ahead of Mathieu van der Poel in a three-man sprint in the velodrome.[7]
